Therapy with me is collaborative and focused, combining meaningful reflection with practical tools that help you respond more effectively to stress, strengthen relationships, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Client Focus
Session Format: Individual sessions.
Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.

- Online Therapy Details: Simplepractice
I have been providing psychotherapy for over 15 years, working with adults across a wide range of concerns including anxiety, relationship distress, burnout, identity questions, and major life transitions. Much of my career has been spent in high-demand clinical environments where clarity, efficiency, and depth of understanding are essential.
In addition to direct clinical care, I train and supervise other mental health professionals and contribute to professional education within the field. This ongoing engagement keeps my work aligned with current research and best practices while sharpening my ability to assess complex emotional and relational patterns.
Clients often seek therapy when they feel stuck in recurring dynamics, whether that shows up as overthinking, conflict in close relationships, difficulty making decisions, or persistent self-criticism. Our work focuses on understanding these patterns while developing practical, sustainable changes. Therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to both emotional insight and real-world application.
